Cocktails, spirits, bars, and bartenders: Alcademics is the study of booze with beverage journalist Camper English.

Absolut is launching a tenth flavor in March: Absolut Mango. It's interesting because the limited-edition Absolut New Orleans flavor was black pepper and mango, so I guess it was also a limited-edition test market.

I wasn't a fan of the flavor of Absolut New Orleans to be honest (though I applaud the fact that the money from its sales went to support arts in the city), so I hope they've tweaked it for this new flavor. The flavor was already available in travel retail (duty-free) shops and in Latin America, so I guess they like it there too.
